My sister has a lab/springer spaniel mix. And he is the sweetest thing! Very very tolerant of my rambunctious nephews!
My mom's cousin has one and is about 12 years old. Very sweet.
My mom's aunt had one also for awhile (she rehomed her when her husband died) and she was the sweetest most loving thing.
She is still alive and I think she is 11 or 12. Had an eye removed due to a tumor other than that she is fine.
